Lesson 1:

Getting Familiar with Microsoft Word 2007 for Windows

Microsoft Word is a word processing software package. You can use it to type letters, reports, and other documents. This tutorial teaches Microsoft Word 2007 basics. Microsoft Word 2007 is so different from previous versions of Microsoft Word, even experienced users may find it useful. This lesson will introduce you to the Word window. You use this window to interact with Word. To begin this lesson, open Microsoft Word 2007. The Microsoft Word window appears and your screen looks similar to the one shown here.

Note:

Your screen will probably not look exactly like the screen shown. In Word 2007, how a window displays depends on the size of your window, the size of your monitor, and the resolution to which your monitor is set. Resolution determines how much information your computer monitor can display. If you use a low resolution, less information fits on your screen, but the size of your text and images are larger. If you use a high resolution, more information fits on your screen, but the size of the text and images are smaller. Also, Word 2007, Windows Vista, and Windows XP have settings that allow you to change the color and style of your windows.

The Microsoft Office Button

In the upper-left corner of the Word 2007 window is the Microsoft Office button. When you click the button, a menu appears. You can use the menu to create a new file, open an existing file, save a file, and perform many other tasks.

The Quick Access Toolbar

Next to the Microsoft Office button is the Quick Access toolbar. The Quick Access toolbar provides you with access to commands you frequently use. By default Save, Undo, and Redo appear on the Quick Access toolbar. You can use Save to save your file, Undo to rollback an action you have taken, and Redo to reapply an action you have rolled back.

The Title Bar

Next to the Quick Access toolbar is the Title bar. The Title bar displays the title of the document on which you are currently working. Word names the first new document you open Document1. As you open additional new documents, Word names them sequentially. When you save your document, you assign the document a new name.

The Ribbon

You use commands to tell Microsoft Word what to do. In Microsoft Word 2007, you use the Ribbon to issue commands. The Ribbon is located near the top of the screen, below the Quick Access toolbar. At the top of the Ribbon are several tabs; clicking a tab displays several related command groups. Within each group are related command buttons. You click buttons to issue commands or to access menus and dialog boxes. You may also find a dialog box launcher in the bottom-right corner of a group. Clicking the dialog box launcher gives you access to additional commands via a dialog box.

The Ruler

The ruler is found below the Ribbon.

You can use the ruler to change the format of your document quickly. If your ruler is not visible, follow the steps listed here:

1. Click the View tab to choose it. 2. Click the check box next to Ruler in the Show/Hide group. The ruler appears below the Ribbon.

The Text Area

Just below the ruler is a large area called the text area. You type your document in the text area. The blinking vertical line in the upper-left corner of the text area is the cursor. It marks the insertion point. As you type, your text displays at the cursor location. The horizontal line next to the cursor marks the end of the document.

The Vertical and Horizontal and Vertical Scroll Bars The vertical and horizontal scroll bars enable you to move up, down, and across your window simply by dragging the icon located on the scroll bar. The vertical scroll bar is located along the right side of the screen. The horizontal scroll bar is located just above the status bar. To move up and down your document, click and drag the vertical scroll bar up and down. To move back and forth across your document, click and drag the horizontal scroll bar back and forth. You won't see a horizontal scroll bar if the width of your document fits on your screen.

The Status Bar

The Status bar appears at the very bottom of your window and provides such information as the current page and the number of words in your document. You can change what displays on the Status bar by right-clicking on the Status bar and selecting the options you want from the Customize Status Bar menu. You click a menu item to select it. You click it again to deselect it. A check mark next to an item means it is selected.

�Understanding Document Views

In Word 2007, you can display your document in one of five views: Draft, Web Layout, Print Layout, Full Screen Reading, or Online Layout. Draft View Draft view is the most frequently used view. You use Draft view to quickly edit your document.

Web Layout

Web Layout view enables you to see your document as it would appear in a browser such as Internet Explorer.

Print Layout

The Print Layout view shows the document as it will look when it is printed. Reading Layout Reading Layout view formats your screen to make reading your document more comfortable.

Outline View

Outline view displays the document in outline form. You can display headings without the text. If you move a heading, the accompanying text moves with it. You should use Draft view for these lessons. Before moving ahead, make sure you are in Draft view:

1. Click the View tab. 2. Click Draft in the Document Views group. When the Draft option is selected it appears in a contrasting color.

Click

During the lessons that follow, you will be asked to "click" items and to choose tabs. When asked to click: 1. Point to the item. 2. Press your left mouse button once. If you are asked to double-click an item: 1. Point to the item. 2. Quickly press your left mouse button twice. If you are asked to right-click: 1. Point to the item. 2. Press your right mouse button. If you are asked to choose a tab, click the tab. Understanding Nonprinting Characters Certain characters, called nonprinting caharacters, do not print and will not appear in your printed document but do affect your document layout. You can elect to see these characters on the screen as you type or you can elect to have them remain invisible. For these lessons, opt to see them onscreen. This table describes most of them: Character Denotes

A tab

  .	A space
  ¶	The end of a paragraph

Hidden text To view nonprinting characters:

1. Choose the Home tab. 2. Click the Show/Hide button in the Paragraph group . The Show/Hide button appears in a contrasting color, when it is selected. Create Sample Data and Select Text If you type =rand() in your Word document and then press Enter, Word creates three paragraphs. You can use these paragraphs to practice what you learn. Throughout these lessons, you will be asked to select text. The following exercise teaches you how to create data and how to select data. You can select by using the arrow keys or by clicking and dragging. When using the arrow keys, use the up arrow to move up, the down arrow to move down, the left arrow to move left, and the right arrow to move right. When using the mouse, press the left mouse button and then drag in the direction you want to move.

EXERCISE 1

Create Sample Data 1. Type =rand(). 2. Press Enter. Three paragraphs appear in your document.

Select with the Shift and Arrow Keys

1. Place your cursor before the word "On" in the first paragraph. 2. Press and hold down the Shift key, which serves as an "anchor" showing where text you wish to select begins or ends. 3. Press the right arrow key until the first line of text is highlighted. 4. Press the down arrow key until the first paragraph is highlighted. 5. Click anywhere outside the highlighted area to remove the highlighting.

Select with the Mouse

1. Place your cursor before the word "You" in the second paragraph. 2. Press and hold down the left mouse button. 3. Drag the mouse until you have highlighted the second paragraph. 4. Click anywhere outside the highlighted area to remove the highlighting. Place the Cursor During the lessons, you will often be asked to place the cursor at a specific location (the insertion point) on the screen. You place the cursor by moving the cursor to the specified location and pressing the left mouse button or by using the arrow keys to move to the specified location. EXERCISE 2 The Arrow Keys 1. Use the down arrow key to move down your document. 2. Use the right arrow key to move to the right. 3. Use the up arrow key to move up. 4. Use the left arrow key to move to the left. Cursor 1. Move around you document by using you mouse and clicking in a variety of location. 2. Click in a location and type. Note what happens. Execute Commands with Keyboard Shortcuts There are many methods you can use to accomplish tasks when using Word. Generally, you choose an option by clicking the option on the Ribbon. However, you can also use shortcut keys. A key name followed by a plus and a letter means to hold down the key while pressing the letter. For example, Ctrl+b means you should hold down the Ctrl key while pressing "b." A shorthand notation of the above would read as follows:

Press Ctrl+b

Typists who are slowed down by using a mouse usually prefer using keys. Start a New Paragraph When you type in Microsoft Word, you do not need to press a key to move to a new line. To start a new paragraph, press the Enter key. Exit Word You have completed Lesson One. Typically, you save your work before exiting.

Lesson 2: Microsoft Word 2007 Basic Features Lesson 1 familiarized you with the the Microsoft Word window. You are now ready to learn how to create a Word document. This lesson covers typing, using the Backspace key, using the Delete key, inserting text, bolding, underlining, and italicizing. To begin, open Microsoft Word. Type, Backspace, and Delete In Microsoft Word, you create documents by typing them. For example, if you want to create a report, you open Microsoft Word and then begin typing. You do not have to do anything when your text reaches the end of a line and you want to move to a new line—Microsoft Word automatically moves your text to a new line. If you want to start a new paragraph, press Enter. Microsoft word creates a blank line to indicate the start of a new paragraph. To capitalize, hold down the Shift key while typing the letter you want to capitalize. If you make a mistake, you can delete what you typed and then type your correction. You can use the Backspace key to delete. Each time you press the Backspace key, Microsoft Word deletes the character that precedes the insertion point. The insertion point is the point at which your mouse pointer is located. You can also delete text by using the Delete key. First, you select the text you want to delete; then you press the Delete key. EXERCISE 1 Type and Backspace 1. Type the following sentence: Joe has a very large house. 2. Delete the word "house." Using either the arrow keys or the mouse, place the cursor between the period and the "e" in "house." 3. Press the Backspace key until the word "house" is deleted. 4. Type boat. The sentence should now read: "Joe has a very large boat." Delete Delete the word "very" from the sentence you just typed. 1. Select the word "very." You can place the cursor before the "v" in the word "very," press and hold down the Shift key, and then press the right arrow key until the word "very" is highlighted. 2. Press the Delete key. The sentence should now read: "Joe has a large boat." Insert and Overtype While creating your document, you may find you need to insert text—place new text between existing text. Suppose, you type the sentence, "Joe has a large boat." After typing it, you decide you want to change the sentence to "Joe has a large blue boat." With Microsoft Word, inserting a word, phrase, or even several paragraphs is easy. Alternatively, you may want to overtype text—replace old text with new text. For example, suppose you type the sentence, "Joe has a large blue boat." After typing it, you decide you want to change the sentence to "Joe has a large gray boat." With Microsoft Word, overtyping the word blue with the word gray is also easy. Before you attempt to insert or overtype, you should check the mode you are in—Insert or Overtype. You right-click the Status bar and then use the Customize Status Bar menu to place the Insert/Overtype button on the Status bar. You can then use the Insert/Overtype button to switch between Insert and Overtype mode. When you are in Insert mode, you can insert text. When you are in Overtype mode, you can overtype text. By default, Microsoft Word is in the Insert mode. EXERCISE 2 Placing the Insert/Overtype button on the Status bar 1. Right-click the Status bar. The Customize Status Bar menu appears. 2. Click Overtype. The Insert/Overtype button appears on the Status bar. 3. If the word Insert appears on the Status bar, you are in Insert mode. 4. If the word Overtype appears on the Status bar, click the word Overtype and it will change to Insert, thereby changing Word to Insert mode. Insert Make sure you are in Insert mode before proceeding. You are going to insert the word "blue" between the words "large" and "boat." 1. Place the cursor after the space between the words "large" and "boat." 2. Type the word blue. 3. Press the spacebar to add a space. 4. The sentence should now read: "Joe has a large blue boat." Overtype You can type over the current text (replace the current text with new text) in the Overtype mode. Do the following to change to the Overtype mode. • Click "Insert" on the Status bar. The word Insert changes to Overtype. Change the word "blue" to "gray." 1. Place the cursor before the letter "b" in "blue." 2. Type the word gray. 3. The sentence should now read: "Joe has a large gray boat." Note: You can overtype text without changing to Overtype mode by selecting the text you want to overtype and then typing. Bold, Italicize, and Underline When creating a document, you may need to emphasize particular words or phrases by bolding, underlining, or italicizing. Also, certain grammatical constructs require that you bold, underline, or italicize. You can bold, underline, and italicize when using Word. You also can combine these features—in other words, you can bold, underline, and italicize a single piece of text. When you need to perform a task in Microsoft Word, you can usually choose from several methods. The exercises that follow show you how to bold, underline, or italicize using four different methods: using the launcher, the Ribbon, the Mini-toolbar/context menu, and the keyboard.

Lesson 4: Formatting Paragraphs and Working with Styles When you type information into Microsoft Word, each time you press the Enter key Word creates a new paragraph. You can format paragraphs. For example, you can indent the first line of a paragraph, you can set the amount of space that separates paragraphs, and you can align a paragraph left, right, center, or flush with both margins. Styles are a set of formats you can quickly apply to a paragraph. For example, by applying a style, you can set the font, set the font size, and align a paragraph all at once. In this lesson, you will learn about the various formats you can apply to a paragraph and about styles. When you are formatting a paragraph, you do not need to select the entire paragraph. Placing the cursor anywhere in the paragraph enables you to format it. After you format a paragraph, pressing the Enter key creates a new paragraph in the same format. Open a Blank Document To begin a new Word project, you start by opening a new document.To begin this lesson, open a blank document in Microsoft Word. EXERCISE 1 Open a Blank Document

1. Open Word 2007. 2. Click the Microsoft Office button. A menu appears. 3. Click New. The New Document dialog box appears.

4. Click Blank Document. 5. Click Create. A new blank document opens. Add Sample Text This lesson uses sample text provided by Microsoft for training and demonstration purposes. You can type the text; however, there is a quicker way. You can use the rand function. Functions are used to obtain information. You tell the function what you want and the function returns that information to you. By default, in Word, when you type the rand function, Word returns three paragraphs. When working with functions, you use arguments to be specific about what you want the function to return. There are two arguments you can use with the rand function. The first one tells Word how many paragraphs you want, and the second one tells Word how many sentences you want in a paragraph. You place arguments between the parentheses and you separate them with a comma. For example, if you type =rand() and then press Enter, word returns three paragraphs. To tell Word you want two paragraphs with three sentences in each paragraph, you type =rand(2,3). EXERCISE 2 Add Sample Text 1. Type =rand(). 2. Press the Enter key. The following text appears: On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look. ¶ You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly. ¶ To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command. Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained in your current template. ¶ Add Space Before or After Paragraphs When creating a document, space is often used to clearly identify where each paragraph begins and ends. By default, Word may place slightly more space between paragraphs than it does between lines in a paragraph. You can increase or decrease the amount of space that appears before and after paragraphs by entering amounts in the Before and After fields in the Paragraph section of the Page Layout tab. Use the up arrows next to the Before and After fields to increase the amount of space before or after each paragraph; use the down arrows to decrease the amount of space before or after each paragraph. The following illustrates: EXERCISE 3 Add Space Before or After Paragraphs

1. Place your cursor anywhere in the second paragraph of the sample text you created in Exercise 2. 2. Choose the Page Layout tab. The default spacing appears in the Spacing Before field. 3. Click the up arrow next to the Spacing Before field to increase the space before the paragraph. 4. Click the up arrow next to the Spacing After field to increase the amount of space after the paragraph. Note: You can click the down arrows next to the Spacing Before and the Spacing After fields to decrease the amount of space before or after a paragraph. You can also type the amount of space you want to use directly into the fields. Space is measured in points. There are 72 points to an inch. Change Line Spacing Line spacing sets the amount of space between lines within a paragraph. The spacing for each line is set to accommodate the largest font on that line. If the lines include smaller fonts, there will appear to be extra space between lines where the smaller fonts are located. At 1.5, the line spacing is set to one-and-a-half times the single-space amount. At 2.0, the line spacing is set to two times the single-space amount (double space). EXERCISE 4 Change Line Spacing

1. Place your cursor anywhere in the first paragraph of the sample text you created in Exercise 2. 2. Choose the Home tab. 3. Click the Line Spacing button in the Paragraph group. A menu of options appears. 4. Click 2.0 to double-space the first paragraph. Create a First-Line Indent Some people and organizations delineate the start of a new paragraph by indenting the first line. If you want to indent the first line of your paragraphs, you can use the Paragraph dialog box to set the amount by which you want to indent. In the Special Field of the Paragraph dialog box, you tell Word you want to indent the first line by choosing First Line from the menu options. In the By field, you tell Word the amount, in inches by which you want to indent. EXAMPLE: First-line Indent

            On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks.
